Summer in the Farm
Last week, in the Greyhound from Montreal airport to Ottawa, I stared at the window for the two hours’ long trip. I couldn’t peel my eyes away from the scenery. We drove that road many times, and yet it still appeals to me: Canada is beautiful.
Such a vast land. Such empty places between cities. Such as wild place at times. The light, the sky, the colors, everything looked vivid and alive. It was like being in a painting. Don’t get me wrong, Europe is beautiful too, but coming from cramped cities such as Paris, open spaces are fascinating.
A few days ago, I walked to the Experimental Farm, nearby our place, to try to capture the summer atmosphere.Can you believe it looked like that just six months ago? The clouds that day were low and looked quite cartoonish, and the colors were just amazing.
You can see the whole Ottawa Summer set here.

So beautiful Zhu
That looks like in the middle of nowhere! In a way, that’s what makes it beautiful.
Your close ups have a really nice texture and depth of field. You must have a very nice lens!! I feel sorry for the wounded tree though…
Well, I guess you’d love Scotland even better.
The journey would have been replaced with endless of lochs, glens and more lochs and glens! Ha ha…
Really scenic!
